It is the purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sci ences of medicine and chemistry havo never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so jiotent to cure all diseases resulting from impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases. Erysipelas, Rose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Bolls, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm, Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, and General Debility. By its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out the foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derange ment and decay. It stimulates and enliyens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout the whole system. No sufferer from any dis ease which arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Ayeb's Sars vparilla a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the numer ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. Ayeb's Sarsapakilla is a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known. Physicians know its composition, and pre scribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified confi dence of millions whom it has benefited. Prepared by Dr. !. C.

We know yoti have very frequently of late read the above motto in the announcements ef newly opening stores, and have found too often that it meant "one price" to Mrs. Paycsah end "another price" to Mr. Chargett, and still "another price" to Mr. Slowpay. Nat urally, when you find out all these things you lose faith In new "one price" stores. "WE SEL1 ONLY FOR CASH." This quotation Is doubtless very familiar, also lu new advertise ment?, but expei ieuce baa proved to moat of you that Mr. lawyer could buy goods ou time, but Mrs. Carpenter could not, and Mr. Rich farmer could obtain credit, while Mr. Peorfarmer must pay cash for his goods, and, as a result, all must pay more for goods than If the merchant would do a square caA business, alnce it needs no argument to prove that the one who does rally a strictly cash business can' and ,nut undersell all others. "No Goods Misrepresented." This can be seen conspicuously posted In very many stores, and yet m.nn iimM k.uavAii nntiid that Mrs. Sharo I who Is pretty well posted) would really get a nice all wool dress cheap, while Mrs. Notposted, (who does not know so much about goods, and relies on the salesman) piya V a . . . - .lu. nn Anil a.unnt- the same amount 01 money ior a mew an ww , wi; -ually the greater pari of wool la cotton, and again Mr. Farmer pays for a .i.ii wii Milt nf ninth and wonders why they turn color and wear so much like cotton goods, when be was assured by Ihe merchant that U 'was warranted". These things tend to destroy confidence In merchants as a matter of course. We know then that you have read and beard all of these nico sounding phrases, and do not deceive onrsetvoa with the idea that it is something new to say what others have said before as, but If we do just exactly as we promise that will Indeed be something new to you, and as our record and our reputation as merchants on the coast for the past years will be sufficient guarantee that we always fulfill our prem ises we unhesitatingly declare We have located here permanently, having leased the building and speed i onsiderabie money in improvement, as we intend having tUe finest store thin side of Portland.

Once In an ancient city, whose name I no longer remember, Raised aloft on a columu, a hrazon Hiatus of Justice Stood In the public BatMes, upholding the scales in Its left hand, Ami in its right a tWOtd, as an emhlem that JuMtice presided Over the laws of tbo land, aud the huds sad homes of the people. Kvou the bird had built their iioIh in tin. fecales of the balsnce, Having no roar of the sword that tl4tid in the sunshine above them, But lu the con r mc of time tho law of the land were corrupted ; alight took the place of right, and the weak were oppressed, and the mighty Kulol with an Iron rod. Then It chanced in a nobleman 'n palace That a necklace of pearh wa lost, and ere long a susplolou hell on an orphan girl who It vol at uuid in the household, Sli-, after form of trial condemned to Ule ou the scaffold, Patleutly mot her doom at the foot of tin Ntatue of J untie. An In har Ketbftr in heaven her IiiimmhiiiI (lrll tuu-uiided, Lo ! o'r the city a teuifioMt roau ; and the uoltM of the thunder Hinote the statute of bronse, and hurled In warth from Its left baud Dowu on the pavement below the clatter ing scalea of the balance, Aad In the hollow thereof wai found the neat of a magpie. Into whose clay-built walla the necklace of peaili waa inwoven I.ilfrlivw. HiiiSirv ram ii . A h .pirr Ike SelrS ArrlSral ml M. Foumiei wrote a bo k on events which never bapiMined, and Jmi Hea- conaheld 'a fathor was the author of a iearaed essay on history which night bare been enacted. An equally curious volume might be penned on trifles which have determined "rest events. It was bu. a trifle which gavo Spain tor so many generations the lordabip of the New World, and enable her by the wealth which abe derived from that source to become the most powerful nation in Kuroiw. Jt is well known that Columbus, dispirited by the refu sals he wet at so many courts, dispatch ed his brother lUrtolouieo to ask aid from Henry VII of Kngland. Hut on the way the meaaenger fell in the hands of pirates, and by tb time he reached Ixmdun was so destitute he bed to try and earn the money to clothe himself in proiier btvlc before he could ho pre rated at court, lint by this time it was too lat. h'rn the fact that rcr- ditiacd aud lttclU supplied the funds to rump the exiKtliLion was mainly due U the accident. lht Juin i'. n do Msrchfit, lht tnenns conft-ssur hapMued to be SBSing st the Very moment when the eary mariner was koockingal the door of the l. i Itabida tuouastry to beg a little hi cad and WNtec foi his Imv l)igo, end was mii nek with the nobltf fact of the dusty l-datrian.

Tntee centuries later it was sgain nearly tevolutioiiixed, for in 1H06 the Kngluh beld Bueuos Avres, snd it is uo secret that Napoleon was almost persuaded to abandon Europe as a field for his ambition, and try what he could accomplish in the way of carrying out an empire among the dissatislied prov inces of Sou lb America. Wbeu citi- xen Bonaparte seemed little likely to sit on the throne of lui Capet it was on the oint of offering his sword to the Sultan, as at a later period Von Moltke actually did. It is curious to speculate what would now hae been the present state of the Eastern ques tion had Napoleon carried his inten tions into eflect, or Hiipiostng thai Moltke bad remained in the Turkish service whether the Danish war would have been fought, or Prussia's suprem acy established at Sadowa or Sedan. The cropping of Louis VI Pa chin brought on three centuries of bloodshed, and a sarcastic remark of Frederick the Great on Elizabeth Petrovna, ot Russia, roused that virtuous Enipres-t to take such a vigorous part in the Seven Years' war that at one time Prussia seemed well-nigh strickened unto death. Even Catherine II pro foundly suspicious of Potsdam after the scandal about tjueen Elizabeth carefully examined her husband's correspondence before she concluded an alliance with the royal letter writer. It is hardly forty years since Louis Philippe threatenf d war against the Texan He public because an irate citizen had shot the trespassing pigs of the French Embassador. As it was he prevented the Lone Star sovereignty from float ing European loan, and thus the King snd the pigs combined hastened the an nexation of Texas to the United States. The Dutch are said to have ''jockeyed" us out of Malacca in exchange for Java by representing on the map, which our simple minded enovya took lor granted, the one territory as large and the other as small, and among tho most firmly traditions of Ameritan diplomacy is one which represents the English csm missiwners as agreeing to the surrender of Oregon, "because a country in which a salmon does not. rise to a fly cannot be worth much."

Father Malebranehe devoted himself to reading philosophy after reading DesoarWW "L'liotnme;" Oowley became a poot owing to his' perusal of Sienser's "Fsery Queen,' and Sir Joshua Reynolds had never thought of painting until lticliardson's "Treatise" full into bis hands.

I'araday might have been a journey man hook-binder had not kiodly Mr. Dance invited him to heat Sir Hum phrey Davy lecture, and VeucatiMort only iook to atudying the mechanism of clocks to beguile tbe weary homs which he had te mum while attending his mother at confession.

She just made me aiok with her uia, and I was that fiustr ated I never thought to effer her the take. "Well, you've done your doty," said tho vinegar-faced as she trimmed down a seam in ber husbands new shirt. "Her own child! Sake-,' "alive, what kind of a woman is she tc Ireat a step-child better than her owa? It's clear against nature, Mrs. Brown, and don't you forget it."

MtUtr l)tmorrn Of course you have Ucn thinking fsj what we are to wear thta fall and win ter and I am happy in give yon sch early information that you will know quite as soon as the average iw Yorker. This is in consequence of my having been sllowed to look over Trd and Taylor's sample ''Ooka. Among rattns the prevalence of puh, chiefly in etripes or squares, but sometimes too in large floral figures is very LOticable. iloire or watered satins too arc extremely fashionable In truth you can bardly mistaare a moire design for they c one in stripes extending all over the am face in large r or smaller ripjdinga, or united with plush or brocaded Rtris. Not onlv sie these rich fabrics coBibined with plain satin or velvet for dressy toilettes; but they serve ss torn lies on fine wool ten costumes, while for sncb purpose variety is given by plush combined with metal threads that .'ie Habedded at narrow intervals. New plaid-l or strijM -1 woollen aie also brought out in great vatiety to be combined with plain wools in all ' the fashionable color, browae. garnet, wine, dark blue or brown. Theie jdaided or striped wools arc prominent amon fall imjsirtution-, and are novel, not only by reason of tbe new colors har monizing with tbe handsome plain wools, but by new airangemenis of bars and columns. Cheviot, too, is very fashionable. It has a loose twill, and in small in distinct checks or atrijsts will be made in simply shaped costumes without combination. Itnt more dressy chev is is wrought with plush or moire satin stripes, while to complete the outfit m clouded cheviot, in colors, to raateb. i provided. These coat i. me will be very stylish, yet not wore Be than cheviots that have broad atri(ss tawing up a par t of the breadth. These lattor are intended for the pILoa? (plaited) effect that are amongst newest i'lsas. Tbe stripes are laid in plaits so that one color appears on the outside while the other shows from beneath in gl imp. only. . Tbe taansiticu in color are BiiUbead sO that tbey can 13 worn by -r ma -i quiet taste. Brighter woollen S art woven in alternations of one plain-, broad stripe and one of sVmcsJ .hrsin and tbese are diajtoscl in pliase styie, either the floral stri?e appearing on the outside with the plain color peep ing from below, or vie. versa, of course there is plain material to match. . . THE XEW EOVNET, is eon.s;yi,jui in millinery an-l it in black, wbtfCBod eliew c .lo.-s. As to shape, on may tssjist asaoaig the poke famiiy, quaint in onSifSs wth . high jointed crow- on selection tsffbe msde among the amaiier cottage and caiiate bonnets. In pokes, there is considerable diversity, since some crowns are more cocsptcuously pointed than others and There are notable dif ferences in size. But most of them arc quite lsrge, ?s are often very large ; having broad, pquare crowns with wide brims trimmed up on the left able. Yet sgain we see derbys aad ttttl.an. pluah or velvet are the materials used aud are laid plainly on the jsikes and usually en the iiu!l bonnets as well. For trimming, we have pluah, satin, velvet and ribbon while by way of finish, it is feathers, feathers, feathers. Ostrich pi u mm of such length that they must be artifici ally prolonged, sweep around the huge hats but on bonnetr, a cluster of tips is preferred. Colors iu otrich leathers are frequently a very jumble two or three mixed in a hap hazard way but sometimes they ate of one color or shaded from dark to light. Feathers are in bands, beasts with heads or en tire birds from a large dove or paroquet down to a humming bird are seen but are not as fashionable as band. Cock's plumage is also on new hats but is dyed iu bronze, garnet, o'ive and other new shades. NEW DESIGNS. For the checked cheviots that should be plain in outline with "tailor finish," there is nothing more suitable than the Sutherland costume having a short skirt trimmed with a deep, cathercd flounce, overtkiit with fullback drap ery, apron front and tuckel basque confined by a belt. Stout people would do liette.- to select a plain cheviot or some one of the new wo 1 either finished with stripes or touches of other material and for them, a pla n fitting corsage h the rather a judicious choice. Here wc find the Baroune polonaise arranged over a a) ort walk ing skirt trimmed with tleep plaitings. The fronts are cut in one piece 'falling over a shawl shaped point at the left and draped high at the si dep. The "Bichmond" is a new, tight fitting jacket cut away below the waist, turn ed back in reverse above and fastened by a single large button at the waist. The Etelka is a dressy mantilet in ch ile shape with shirring at tbe neck aid in a pleat on behind. Lucy Carter,
